问题 The architects of New York’s early skyscrapers, hinting here at a twelfth-century cathedral, there at a fifteenth-century palace, sought to legitimize the city’s social strivings by (i)________ a history the city did not truly (ii)________.
选项 A、revealing…deserve
B、displaying…desire
C、evoking…possess
D、preserving…experience
E、flouting…believe
答案C
解析 空格(i)：
- 方程等号：by表示方式方法，同义重复。
- 强词和对应：前文说纽约早期摩天大楼的建筑家，暗示(hinting)这里是12世纪的教堂，那里是15世纪的宫殿，通过by得知here at a twelfth-century cathedral，there at a fifteenth-century palace和history同义重复。因此空格(i)和hinting取同，体现建筑师“暗示”历史。reveal揭露，display展现，evoke唤起，preserve保留，flout嘲笑。hint的释义是a statement conveying by implication what it is preferred not to say explicitly，而reveal和display都是直接的揭露，因此排除选项A和B。选项C合适。evoke的释义是to bring to mind or recollection。
空格(ii)：
- 方程等号：by表示方式方法，同义重复。not取反。
- 强词和对应：the city指代New York。history体现之前的历史(12世纪和15世纪)。legitimize的中文释义为：证明…有理，英文释义为：to legitimize something，especially something bad，means to officially allow it，approve it，or make it seem acceptable。既然要让这段历史legitimize，所以空格(ii)体现这段历史是“不存在”的历史。deserve值得(错)，desire渴望(错)，possess拥有(对)，experience经历(催)，believe相信(错)。综合空格(i)，答案选C。
